Another thread about donator items...

[825th_tomcat]

Cleric is a good shout too for group heals - more so than Shaman - I don't use shaman slow stick, just WoA... the 10% damage modifier is handy too!

[Safiya]

I went with war and shm weapon and Ares.

My thinking is that I can use SHM v1 for normal mobs and swap out for nameds after buffed. You mentioned you don't use the slow and I'm curious as to why that's the case. An 80% unresistable slow sounds insane. Is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: Oh...it's 20% not 80...that's what I was missing.

[Sian]

the main point of that donor slow is that it's lure so won't be resisted.

Guess this is a good time to get corrected, but it is my understanding that if you did donor for warrior you should do the following,

1 legs: 15k rune every 10 seconds, generates AE agro,
2 Shield: DI
3 BP
4 weapons
5ish bracer, 80k heal every 2 mins...
6 arms for sune

to add dps, would focus on rogue

weapon + 1 aug i think you are looking at 150k dps? with bp boosts to 250k dps?

I am looking to donate soon, so good feedback with stats would be awesome.

IMO for a warrior of what you listed.

Shield >>>>>>>>>> * DI has saved my butt so many times it's not even funny.
legs - rune and agro, whee
arms - stackable with all worn AC buff + rebuffs for dispelling fights
bp - yay more ae agro.
weapon - defensive, but warriors have so many of these it's not really a requirement.
bracer - nice little, ACK panic heal item. I haven't gotten one yet

Guess I am the only warrior around drooling over donor weapon... I disagree on the fact that we have so many defensive clickies and such that we don't need more. If you are in the case of a MT, without donor weapon, you will quickly be stuck because the simple disc won't last a whole fight so you will have to use clickies (45min for T8 ring and 1hour recast for class ring). Other small clickies (furious and such) are just nice patch-disc to gain some seconds here and there.

So no, I definitely put warrior donor weapon in the very first thing to buy.

I have not played with anything but the shield and weapon so maybe I'm biased but OMG....both are so worth it. Being able to pop an extra defensive with a relatively quick recast has been an absolute game changer without being what I would consider OP.

I toyed with the idea of the legs but seemed OP to me....at least at my low tier. I don't want to take the fun/challenge out of things. Later, when 15k dmg is less than one round.... it would be more reasonable. The BP looked good but I'm not facing enough situations where I'm running out of AE Agro tools yet so it's not worth it for me at this stage. Later it may be a different story.

The sword and shield are more than enough. I agree with you about challenge. I personally don't see the point in filling out a character with loads of donor items. What progression does it leave you with?

Each to their own, of course; more donations is good for the server so it benefits everyone in the long run.

A warrior doesn't need the BP. Once you have the group rune raid aura, the warrior holds aoe agro like a rock. My warrior often refuses to relinquish agro of adds even when we don't want him to lol.

This makes me happy to hear. I've been having trouble as a warrior reacting to adds that are not within the range of cyclone blade. Which to my knowledge is the only Aoe utility I have (@T6) outside of my aa which I believe to be useless.

Having to get closer to the adds to hit them with cyclone blades or if not up, actually engage in a round with them almost always results in the death of my mage/necro pets.

Outside of the raid aura, any other aoe aggro clickys? Or for that matter, aggro clickies in general such as the ToV legs? pre-t7

[andercross]

There are shields with aggro clicks. The first AoE aggro item I got as a warrior was in T8 though (nadox warrior belt) which allows you to click the disc ae hit multiple times.

AFAIK, other than that your only option pre-t8 is war donor bp click.
